At a press conference ahead of Navy Day, Admiral Tripathi confirmed that the Rafale-M negotiations were in the final stages, with approval from the Cabinet Committee on Security expected soon. "Rafale Marine is at an advanced stage of negotiations and is only one level short of taking it to the Cabinet. Since it is a government-to-government deal, it should not take much time," he said.
